Software engineer, founder and technology consultant in Colombo, Sri Lanka
I help founders and growing businesses make sound technical decisions, then build software that holds up in daily use. I've led ERP development at Software Systems International since 2018, was CTO of Outclass, and founded Noimos, the company behind Catwa.lk and EduCluster.
Three kinds of work, which often overlap.
I turn an idea into a plan an engineering team can build: who uses it, what the first version must do, and an architecture sized for the company you are now. Code someone has to support for years needs a simple data model and familiar tools, so that's what I design for.
Most of my career has gone into ERP software for cooperatives and small and medium businesses. The work starts with how an organization actually runs: who approves what, which numbers must reconcile, what happens at month-end. Then we decide what to automate, what to replace and what to leave alone.
I've been a CTO and I've founded my own ventures, so I know the founder side. I review plans before budget is committed, help choose a stack a small team can maintain, and can stay on part-time to make architecture calls and guide developers.
Noimos (Pvt) Ltd is my software company. Catwa.lk and EduCluster are products it builds.
Registered in 2023. Noimos builds Catwa.lk and EduCluster, and delivers business applications, mobile apps, enterprise systems and AI integrations for clients.
Sri Lanka's modeling platform. A person reviews every model profile, and brands, agencies, photographers and studios book talent directly, with no commission.
The professional network for education: profiles, an education job board, speaking-club tools and learning apps, all on one account.
Since 2023 I've held several of these roles at the same time.

Most software problems start as unclear business problems, so that's usually where I start.
I live and work in Colombo. After master's-level study I chose startups over staying close to academia, because a product in people's hands tells you more, and sooner, than a paper does. I'm drawn to work with a clear social use, education especially.
Most software problems I've worked on weren't really software problems at the beginning. They were a business process nobody had written down, two teams using the same word differently, or a founder trying to solve three problems with one feature.
I take on a small number of consulting and collaboration projects alongside my own companies. If you're not sure it's a fit, send a short message anyway. A clear no is more useful than silence.
